what is luxury exhibition review:

the what is luxury exhibition explored various themes of exuberance in many different mediums which I thought was interesting, for example the words passion, which was accompanied by some expensive looking jewellery. the pieces themselves within the exhibition seemed slightly critical of today's capitalist society, the most obvious being the vending machine (see picture attached) which was filled with DNA samples, perhaps suggesting the capitalisation of people's identities. also featured in the exhibition was a table cloth made entirely of little girls' hair, this poses the question of: 'luxury, but at what cost?' Another artist in the exhibition imagined a world where plastic was as precious as gold is today, he constructed a set of a table and a chair made out of melted down chips of plastic in a very individual and geometric way, I found this very interesting.
